New bike, picked up from the shop on Friday. Lower headset bearing doesn't sit very flush with the fork crown, there's a c.5mm gap.
Shop says this is within tolerance and will decrease once headset is tightened, i'm sceptical.
Last pic is of the same model on the showroom floor, with no gap between fork/frame. Is this normal?
Note; 2nd pic just shows the fork crown. 3rd pic shows headset pushed down as far as possible.
